I am unable to decode this - if you can please let me know.
15 August 2022 - Finished putting my 10G system in a box.
14 August 2022 - Was able to find time today to check out my 10GHz setup - power was low and it didn't seem like the 3W PA was working. I found a bad SMA jumper and replaced it. Now I get 12.426dBm/17.5mW without the PA and 32.428dBm/1.75W with the PA.

August 5, 2022 - Up on Bell Mountain to work some 10GHz SSB - I was able to work Ott (W4WSR) as my first 10GHz contact. Ott was at Mike's (NC4W) QTH (4.41 miles) and after I worked Ott I worked Mike who was using Ott's rig. My 10GHz 3W amp was not working so this contact was with the low power 10mW transverter alone. We were waiting on Ben (K4QF) to make it to a location on the Cherohala Skyway but I encountered a few drops of rain and nearby thunder to the north and left just minutes before Ben was in position - Ott tried to work Ben but was unable to hear him.
